I wanted to be sure to set up a curriculum then, that focused on the lessons I wanted to teach, without losing anything in the way of academic schooling. Which, not having a background as a teacher was much harder than I expected.

The end product though, looks a little something like this:

Prayer: Each day starts with the appropriately titled, Morning Prayer, which comes from Marianne Williamson. I firmly believe that the most important part of life is having a connection with something bigger than you. In my families case, it’s God. But, for you, it can be whatever feels right.

Treasure Journals: This is one of the main reasons this website exists, and it’s a quintessential part of my schooling with Spencer. You can find a full, in-depth breakdown of what a Treasure Journal is, here.

68 Second Rampage: 68 seconds doesn’t sound like a lot of time, because, well, it isn’t. However, it’s the perfect amount of time to leverage the Law of Attraction. This is taken from the teachings of two of my favorite authors, Esther and Jerry Hicks.

By directing your thoughts where you want them to go, for a minimum of 68 seconds, you can attract the right vibrations from the world around you. This helps you to achieve the goal internally, so that it’s easier to take action externally.

For Spencer, this is going to focus on Basketball. How it feels to compete and play at his full potential. What winning feels like. How fluid he feels when he plays. How dynamic he is.

Meditation: This is going to be one of the harder parts to implement, but I can’t wait to do it. My children have the same aversion to Meditation as they do to eating Brussel Sprouts – no matter how good it is for them, they just don’t want to do it.

Thought Provoking: This is somewhat of a ‘free reign’ session for me, where I can actually get one of my kids to read the books, watch the videos and learn the lessons I’ve been longing to share with them.

And, Spencer agreed to be homeschooled on my terms, so he has to read the books I choose. Which, is a delightful situation to find myself in.

Tony Robbins says “We are either growing or dying, expansion is one of our 6 basic human needs.”

Core Subjects: Math, English, Science et al.

What I Want To Achieve…

First and foremost, I want Spencer to be happy. I want him to attract from the world what he wants. To reach his goal of playing basketball to his full potential, and feel that this year has been an overall success.

Secondly, I want him to have a better connection with himself and those around him, that he can take forward into the rest of his life.

I know that not everything I teach will stick, but I hope to give him the skills, through Journaling and Meditation, to empower himself for the future and let him lead a healthy, fulfilled life.

Because, what more could a mother want for her child, other than for him to be happy and healthy?
